Chapter 42, Thousand Faces Phantom Crystal
Sixteen towering black boulders line the muddy black swamp around it. Strange patterns were carved on the boulder, and wisps of black mist emanated from these lines, enveloping the entire mire.
Beyond the quagmire is a large sandy beach with countless white pebbles, large and small. And beyond, there is a cloudy chaos.
Suddenly, in this rocky beach, which was silent except for the sound of muddy water churning bubbles, a waddling footstep suddenly sounded.
"Ahem!"
An old man in a blue robe, with a clear appearance, and a little thin, walked on this desolate land, as if he were the only one in this empty place.
The old man slowly walked to the edge of the mire, carefully avoiding contact with the black mist, bent down to pick up a stone, and threw it into the mire.
"Smack!"
Black muddy water splashed. But soon the mire returned to calm.
The old man waited quietly for a moment, and when he saw that nothing had happened, he couldn't help frowning.
"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"
More than a dozen stones in a row were wrapped in several clouds of blue light, and fell far into the middle of the mire.
This time the black mire finally changed, a deafening roar rang out, and then a gust of wind swept out of the mire, almost blowing up some of the stones at the edge of the mire. However, the strange thing is that the thin black mist that shrouds the mire has not changed in the slightest.
"Who dares to disturb this king!"
However, the old man in Tsing Yi lowered his eyebrows, and seemed not to be moved by the wind at all, and coughed a few times before slowly speaking towards the mire.
"Old Dragon, come out!"
"Boom!"
In the black muddy water, a huge dragon's head was raised, white as jade, with long beards and horns. A pair of golden vertical pupils stared angrily at the old man in Tsing Yi outside the black mist.
"Old dragon, don't look at me like that, we've seen each other before. The old man said with a faint smile on his face.
"Huh?"
The white jade dragon's anger decreased slightly, and he carefully looked at the old man in front of him a few times, and suddenly a few streams of wind rolled in the black mist. The white jade dragon head disappeared, and was replaced by a tall and thin man with white hair and white shirt stepping on the black mist, with a little doubt on his face.
The old man smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved, and a misty ice mist rose up, and countless fine ice cubes in the ice mist shot at the white-shirted man like sharp blades.
However, when the ice blade flew into the shallow-looking black mist, it turned into water droplets and fell down like melting snow in the spring sun.
When the man in the white shirt saw the large piece of ice, his face suddenly changed, his eyes were almost spewing fire, and he said angrily.
"Are you the one who broke into Longtan last time and stole the floating light?! What a thief! How dare you come here!"
In the face of the angry man in the white shirt, the old man was not afraid at all, as if he was as casual as an old friend.
"Just call me a thousand miles! Your Excellency Yunlong, long time no see!"
In the Longtan Cave
Wang Xuan didn't expect to encounter that black cloud here again.
After leaving the location of the group of crows, there was more than one cave that continued down, and there were seven or eight places in all directions. Fortunately, with that long-bearded strange man with him, he encountered some monsters and monsters along the way, and he couldn't withstand a few hits from this strange man.
In the process of shuttling along the caves, the two suddenly came to a cave full of countless colored crystal clusters. The whole cave is full of colorful light, and the ambilight is brilliant, like a dreamland.
And what excites Wang Xuan the most is that on the dome of the crystal wall cave, there is a gorgeous and intoxicating colored spar.
The hedron was only the size of a fist, but the brilliance was striking. Even the rest of the crystal clusters that filled the hole were paled in comparison to this small colored crystal.
"A Thousand Faces Phantom Crystal!"
Wang Xuan's eyes reflected the misty light of the colored crystals, and he muttered in his mouth.
If Wang Xuan was still limited by the black stone species in his belly before, he didn't have much to think about treasure hunting in this dragon pool. Then this thousand-faced illusion crystal is a treasure that can temporarily make Wang Xuan forget the danger of his life.
Although Mr. Cedar's "Chronicles of Scenery" does not describe much of the Thousand Faces Phantom Crystal, Wang Xuan has heard Mr. Yao Qianli mention this thing many times. Because at that time, Mr. Haruka Qianli said that it was a realm of duality, and he didn't know if he could be expected to cultivate into a three-element in this life. And the thousand-faced illusion crystal is a thing that is extremely useful when the three-element Dacheng cultivates the five-pole yuan soul.
The realm of the Five Extremes Yuan Soul is refined with three drops of immortal blood to the limbs of the head, and the power of the immortal spirit flows all over the body. And with the power of immortals to support the physical body, the divine soul can be condensed out of the body and cultivated into a primordial soul.
After the cultivation of the Yuan Soul, there is no physical body to hinder the communication of heaven and earth aura, and some extremely powerful spells can be cast. Even if the physical body is damaged, as long as the original soul still exists, it is not impossible to find some heavenly and earthly treasures to reshape the body. And the preciousness of this so-called thousand-faced illusion crystal lies in the fact that this thing can help people cultivate into a Yuan Soul Crystal!
After all, the Yuan Soul is only a soul cultivation, and it is naturally not as solid as the physical body. If you encounter some damage when casting a spell out of your body, it will be extremely difficult to recover. And the Yuan Soul Crystal cultivated by the Thousand Faces Phantom Crystal can make the originally fragile Yuan Soul withstand more blows than the ordinary physical body. And the Yuan Soul Crystal also has some help to absorb aura, increase the power of spells, etc., which is not worth mentioning compared to strengthening the Yuan Soul itself.
This thousand-faced illusion crystal is so precious, even if Wang Xuan is only in the one-yuan realm now, he naturally doesn't want to let it go. What's more, there is a powerful thug next to him.
The place where the Thousand Faces Phantom Crystal is born is called the Phantom Geode, and the Phantom Geode will inevitably be accompanied by a monster with the Thousand Faces Phantom Crystal.
Crystalthorn!
This crystalline spiny is about the size of a kitten, and its body is covered with crystals. Not only was he born with sharp teeth that shattered steel and broken iron, but he also moved like the wind, almost stealth in the geode under the cover of crystal clusters. What's even more troublesome is that I don't know if it's the reason for the geode amplification or what, the Crystal Thorn Beast also has a short-distance teleportation technique in the Phantom Geode, and it can be reached in the blink of an eye at a distance of four or five zhang.
However, there was once a great cultivator who tried to take the Crystal Thorn Beast out of the geode to feed one, but later found that as long as the Crystal Thorn Beast left the Illusory Geode, the elusive teleportation technique was gone, so he had to give up.
Originally, if Wang Xuan was to face these dozens of crystal thorn beasts in the Illusion Geode, he would naturally only stare at each other, and he couldn't think about it. After all, under the fleeting flicker of the crystal thorn beast house with more than gold and iron and teeth like steel knives, the floating light sword couldn't keep up with their speed no matter how fast it was.
However, with this inexplicable tall and thin weirdo, things are much simpler.
No matter how sharp the Crystal Thorn Beast's teeth were, it couldn't even leave a white mark on the strange man's body. And the tentacles behind the monster's shoulders swing at a speed that is barely worse than the instantaneous flash of the Crystal Thorn.
In less than half a moment, the cave-full Crystal Thorn Beast was all smashed into pieces by strange people. Colorful Crystal Thorn Beast blood was also sprinkled all over the ground.
But just when Wang Xuan was full of joy and wanted to jump to the top of the geode to pick the thousand-faced illusion crystal, a somewhat familiar black cloud broke straight in, it was the person who had joined forces with him to deal with the human-headed black snake before.
At such a moment of treasure hunting, Wang Xuan was naturally full of vigilance against the black clouds that suddenly came in. After all, even if the people in the black clouds don't know the Thousand Faces Phantom Crystal, they will understand that this is a treasure when they see the streamer of the Phantom Crystal.
Of course, with a strange person by his side, Wang Xuan naturally would not show the slightest fear.
Breaking into the purple pole black cloud in the geode, Pei Shu and Lu'er were also a little surprised.
After the two of them killed the vine demon with their broken spirits, they also lost their way in the rock tunnels that extended in all directions, but they didn't want to see Wang Xuan here again.
Lu'er looked at the colorful crystal clusters full of holes in front of her, especially the glittering thousand-faced phantom crystal on the top of the cave, and her eyes were almost bursting with flowers.
"Sister, that's so beautiful, so beautiful!" Lu'er said as she stared at the Thousand Faces Phantom Crystal with a bit of a foolish look in her eyes.
Pei Shu looked at the strange man beside Wang Xuan with a somewhat solemn face.
For no reason, as soon as he saw this person, an inexplicable danger surged into Pei Shu's heart, especially when he saw the two tentacles hanging from the back of the strange man's shoulders, Pei Shu only felt that the hairs on his back were about to stand up!
Who is this man? How to follow this kid!
Although Pei Shu had doubts in his heart, after seeing Wang Xuan's unkind face, he was even more embarrassed in his heart, and hurriedly shouted.
"It's a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet here again, thanks to the help of the son, I asked the demon snake!"
Wang Xuan said in a stiff tone,
"I didn't expect Your Excellency to chase here!"
When Pei Shu heard this, he noticed that the tentacles behind the gray strange man had some meaning to be raised, and hurriedly said again.
"Don't get me wrong, Childe, we just happened to be here!"
We?
Wang Xuan's heart moved when he heard this, it turned out that there was more than one person hidden in that black cloud?
"When I ran here, I happened to meet a treasure crystal, and I felt that I liked it very much, so I got rid of these monsters and was just about to take the treasure. I didn't expect Your Excellency to come over, what, do you want a piece of the pie?"
"Since it is Gongzi who gets rid of these monsters, how dare we covet them!" Pei Shu pretended to smile lightly in the black clouds.
"In that case, then let's go and get the treasure next!" Wang Xuan chuckled.
"Childe, please!"
Hearing what the people in the cloud said, Wang Xuan cast his wind breath technique and jumped towards the top of the cave.
Seeing that Wang Xuan was not at all defenseless and turned his back to the black clouds, he jumped up to get the treasure. Pei Shu couldn't help frowning, isn't this person afraid of attacking from behind?
Could it be that he is really so arrogant, or does the tall person on the side really have the capital to make him so confident.
At this time, Lu'er on the side saw Wang Xuan jumping up to the cave to take the treasure, her eyes were almost red, her pink fists were clenched, and the black rings flowed.
"Sister! I want that hedroon!"
Pei Shu stopped Lu'er's movements, shook his head, and said with a straight face.
"I'm afraid we're not that man's opponent!"
As he spoke, Pei Shu pointed to the tall gray strange man beside Wang Xuan.
Only then did Lu'er turn her attention away from the Thousand Faces Phantom Crystal.
"Yikes!"
Lu'er frowned, avoiding the strange pupilless eyes.
"This man is powerful, he can't beat him!"
Pei Shu nodded,
"This person is very weird, I can't see his cultivation clearly at all, I'm afraid that his strength is far above us. And we're gone, so it's better not to provoke this man!"
Although Lu'er is delicate on weekdays, she is not brainless and does not know whether she lives or dies. But at this time, seeing Wang Xuan, he happily held the Thousand Faces Phantom Crystal in his hand, bit his lip, and said unwillingly.
"Is that how you gave the spar to this man?"
Pei Shu said a little helplessly,
"Otherwise, what else!" Pei Shu said thoughtfully, "I can consider joining forces with him!"
